Please join us for a special CJS seminar featuring Rabbi Tirzah Firestone on reclaiming the embodied spirtuality of Jewish Women. This event is associated with a GTU course but is a virtual session open to the broader public.

Reclaiming the Embodied Spirituality of Jewish Women: A Seminar with Rabbi Tirzah Firestone 

Rabbi Tirzah Firestone will be a guest speaker in Sam Shonkoff's seminar "Embodied Theology in Jewish Tradition," and we want to open up this special session (virtually) to the broader public! In preparation, students in the course will read the first five chapters of Rabbi Firestone's book The Receiving: Reclaiming Jewish Women’s Wisdom (San Francisco: HarperCollins, 2004), and all additional guests for this program are encouraged but certainly not required to do so as well.

Please note: This is event is associated with a GTU course. Attendees will be welcomed as "auditors"—i.e., listeners—so enrolled students will have priority for asking questions and driving discussion in the program. 

Rabbi Tirzah Firestone, Ph.D., is an author, Jungian psychotherapist, and leader in the international Jewish Renewal Movement. Ordained by Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi in 1992, Rabbi Firestone is Rabbi Emerita of Congregation Nevei Kodesh in Boulder, Colorado. Her work includes With Roots in Heaven (1998, newly reprinted), The Receiving (2004), Wounds into Wisdom: Healing Intergenerational Trauma (2022), and an audio program.
